Fairfield defeated Siena 5-2 in a women's tennis match Saturday night at the Tri City Raquette Club in Latham. Karina Davis was honored prior to the match in a special Senior Day ceremony and junior Sarah Mayer became the all-time winningest women's tennis player in school history.

"Though we lost the match 5-2 there we many positives to take away," head coach Tim O'Brien said. "We celebrated Senior Day for Karina. She is a model for what we hope to find in our student athletes."
